The #HonourableHarvest: Guiding Principles to Restoring Our Relationship to the #NaturalWorld

Apr 12, 2021

"We need acts of #restoration, not only for polluted waters and degraded lands, but also for our relationship to the world. We need to restore honor to the way we live, so that when we walk through the world we don’t have to avert our eyes with shame, so that we can hold our heads up high and receive the respectful acknowledgment of the rest of the earth’s beings."

#Wisconsin - #TribalFoodSovereignty resources

"#NativeFoodSovereignty is the right of #AmericanIndians, #AlaskaNatives and #NativeHawaiians to produce their own #TraditionalFoods on their own lands to sustain themselves, their families and their communities. #NativeAmericans had #FoodSovereignty for thousands of years before the first European contact in the Americas. Food systems have dramatically changed to the detriment of Native peoples’ health."
-First Nations Development Institute

Written by Erin Peot

"We are exploring the development of a statement that acknowledges this land’s #FirstNations people. This statement would be used to open discussions and educate the public we work with about First Nations peoples’ rights and the contributions First Nations have made and continue to make throughout this land now known as #Wisconsin."

Happy #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth From the Army That Brought You the #TrailOfTears

After 170 years of armed attacks, #ForcedRelocations, #EthnicCleansing, and #genocide of #NativeAmericans, the #USMilitary wants to celebrate.

"'The Army was, bottom line, an instrument of a settler colonial empire that was determined to convert Native lands into private property for mostly white settlers,' said Jeffrey Ostler, professor of history emeritus at the University of Oregon and author of 'Surviving Genocide: Native Nations and the United States From the American Revolution to Bleeding Kansas.' 'That was its mission: to carry out a federal government policy that, in practice, often became a genocidal war.'"
